The Greek Orthodox School of Darwin brought their school community together for a celebration of March 25 for Greek National Day and the Annunciation of the Theotokos.
Students donned traditional costumes, recited poems and sang hymns. They proudly honoured the dual celebration of Hellenism and Orthodoxy.
In a Facebook post reflecting on the day, the Greek Orthodox School of Darwin said the atmoshpere was “warm and moving.”
They said it was great to bring together the Greek community to celebrate the mutual values of faith, freedom and historical continuity. The voices of the students acted as a “guiding light for future generations of our community.”
The celebration was supported by the Greek Orthodox Community of Northern Australia, the school committee, and dedicated volunteers. The contribution of these groups, especially the volunteers, remains invaluable in preserving the school’s language, faith, and traditions in Darwin.
